Four Midterm Things

A Friday Hodgepodge

The historic rebuke of the Trump Presidency led me to discover some interesting things. Here are four of them.

1. Trump is horrible and deserves immediate impeachment and removal from office. Unfortunately, his Vice President is worse in some respects because he is more intelligent and better-organized. I would hope that any effort to remove Trump is paired with one to remove Vance first.

That said, Vice President John C. Calhoun once requested an impeachment inquiry of his own dealings from the House in order to clear his name of an allegation of profiting from a war contract.

Can you imagine anyone in this Administration doing that, either because they know they'd be cleared, or even because they actually care about their reputation among honest people?

2. While I am sure I don't agree with many of Scott Colom's political positions, I am glad he won the Senate seat in Mississippi.

He certainly had one of the best political ads I've ever seen, which I embed below.

Mississippi picked another Senator, instead.

3. Returning to impeachment and removal, I am glad to hear that physician and Senator-elect Annie Andrews (D-SC) has said that "I believe we need to impeach and remove RFK Jr."

Unfortunately, she is on the socialized medicine bandwagon, but getting rid of Kennedy would be a good first step towards addressing a serious health hazard millions of Americans now face in the person of that malevolent crackpot.

4. As I noted earlier in the week, Elon Musk's poor return on his huge political expenditures in Texas provides a welcome counterexample to the idea that "the rich" can "buy" elections.
